I have one who is 5 and know no others locally. None at her school. She is a Tilda. I don't like Tilly at all and thankfully, neither does she.

I have a ds with an uncommon name and there are going to be 3 in his class if we/they don't move. I made the mistake of teaching a parentcraft session when he was 11 days old and two of the couples heard and liked the name so used it. Just goes to show...

I have one! She is always Tilda. We have lived in cities Alwynover 2 years and we've only ever met two others plus a Tilly (that's the full name). Both cities are South, one was north London. Met LOTS of 2 year old Sophias and Avas. And for boys, Stanley's and Finlay's.

I have a Matilda (4) and she is always being complimented on having such a beautiful name. I also hate Tilly and thankfully she's never referred to as such. Be warned though, the name means "mighty in battle" so stand by for a very strong-willed and determined little madam...or is that just my Matilda?
